Love the game, really looking forward to the full release because it will be super good. The game as it stands is quite good, with solid gameplay and very nice artwork
TheNyPod4 twitter profile states that the working on the game has been put on hold. I've tried to find anymore info on this but could not find anything on your twitter profiles. Could you please clarify what's going on.
I love the game and really wish to see more of it. And good luck with any IRL stuff. :)
Officially the project is on hold for the time being. So don’t expect updates in the immediate future especially from NyPod’s side. That said I am still working on learning and porting the game to Godot and have been making slow progress. Part of the reason it’s going to take a while is because multiple reasons.
This is a free passion project and it being stressful is not going to happen and if it does breaks are necessary.
Not going at game jam pace which causes burnout and long periods of no desire to work on the project.
Doing things the right way to be properly expandable in the future takes time. The jam version was cobbled together as quickly as possible and honestly adding new features to that version is extremely painful since it was hacked together to get it to the jam state within the time frame.
IRL stuff between both NyPod and I have and will continue to take priority.
I know how much people want new features. Believe me, NyPod and I probably want them the most of all. But these things take time when done properly and sustainably. Current state is me getting the game caught up to the state of the demo but architecture in a way that can more properly be expanded using Godot. This is and has been going fairly smoothly but will still be a ways out before it’s caught up. Once it’s there and NyPod has time, we will officially bo longer be on hold and be able to work on extending it to our full vision of the game. Until then please do not bother NyPod for updates and remain patient. I appreciate the enthusiasm everyone has shown, and will continue to work sustainably on slowly moving the project towards the end goal.
thank you for replying. I very much understand the stress of changing game engines as I have changed from unity to Godot as well, but ever since the whole runtime fee event I have made 0 progress in actually learning Godot.
I hope you and NyPod have a great year in the following 2024 and I wish you luck. :)
In progress of porting the game to Godot. Official progress updates will be posted as possible. Intentionally pacing development so I don’t burn out entirely (again).
It’s still going to be a bit. Combination of burnout and other personal things have delayed progress recently but we’re ramping back up and hope to start providing more soon. Please be patient while we continue to work on the game. The next update will add a ton but still requires a lot of time.
10. You won't necessarily hit that mark on any given play through as hitting the Long Pink Shower, Eating at the BBQ, Stealing the Idol, and Getting back your money from the Pond aren't guaranteed to be on any one play through.
Visiting the Spa and selecting "Rest" restores Stamina.
During the "Beach Trip" random event, selecting "Sunbathe" restores Stamina and increases "Preg" by a small amount.
During the "Pink Shower" random event, selecting "Long Shower" restores a large amount of Stamina and increases "Preg" by a large amount, and selecting "Short Shower" restores a small amount of Stamina and increases "Preg" by a small amount.
A very fun game! Even the theming of the game aside, I liked the actual card battle mechanics. Is there are any planned increases to size limits though?
The current max size for Elra is currently planned to be either her max size or close to it. Hyper isn’t going to be a primary focus for Elra and max size for her is already quite large.
Since the next update is going to be a ways away, would you consider releasing the current builds unity project files so people like me could make edits or mods for it?
Sorry. You’ll just have to be patient. Releasing the source code could cause all sorts of nightmares and is ultimately unnecessary for modding Unity games. Additionally any mods made for this version would not work for the next version since most of the code is being rewritten to better support being a long term project rather than a quick and dirty jam entry. So please be patient while we add tons of new features and improvements to the game.
No estimation at this moment. Don’t expect it for a while. I made ambitious estimations in a few other posts that have proven to be inaccurate. Project is still being worked on but its going slow. Redoing a bunch of code behind the scenes to be less spaghetti so its easier to add new features without breaking everything. Hoping to tease a few things near the end of July. Hoping to have a better estimate of the update date near end of July.
you can pull a malkuth and stack an obscene amount of burn onto one enemy, among many other things. 10/10 game, GOTY material, would reference library of ruina again.
Kind of curious but, what's the biggest size you're planning to get the protag? Mostly askin' as a bit of a Size Queen but, honestly just curious what's the planned end-game for the future!
Honestly what’s there is near the max size we’re planning for Elra. There might be some hyper size nods through events or enemies at some point. And possibly a different playable protagonist waaaaaaay later in the development life cycle that has a larger max size. Note: plans can change so please take long term plans with a grain of salt.
Bug Report I guess. Beach event doesn't necessarily boost the number of babies. Playing on V0.1.1, Events triggered were Retrieving gold from cavern, retrieving money from pool, Stealing Idol, visiting shop (no purchase made), and then when selecting resting at the beach no change occurred.
Beach event only adds size not babies. That’s intended. We’re likely going to adjust a bunch of event outcome rewards for future updates though so lots is subject to change regardless.
I return, unfortunately bearing bad news, but this time I think it might be a "me" problem rather than a "Mac" problem. The program came up, opened for about 3 milliseconds, then crashed. Here's some of the more important looking gobbledygook it spat out at me.
I unfortunately don’t have a Mac I can build the game natively on myself. I was briefly able to test it on a Mac and the game definitely worked for me even if the custom cursor was like 3x the intended size. If you have experience using the terminal, feel free to try this
from the folder containing the game to ensure all the permissions are properly set. If that doesn’t work, then it’s likely an issue with the CPU architecture of your Mac not playing nicely with the game (not your fault. It just means I need to do some work to properly support all Macs in the future). For now, continue to use Wine and hopefully I can figure out why Unity doesn’t want to play nicely with the Mac build. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
We definitely need to balance the game a lot. This game was made in 3 weeks for a game jam and we worked right up to the deadline and didn’t have time to balance. Future content updates will include lots of balance changes and more!
Hey there, another mac user who can't run the game here, although I was able to extract the game out of the .app.zip file, it was "damaged or incomplete" so I tried running the Windows version using WINE and may have come across at least part of the problem, being that the game is made using DirectX11, which (to my knowledge) there is no way to encode in a way that will run on Mac. Figured I'd at least mention it so y'all and the rest of the Mac users know.
(The Mac I'm on is a MacBook Air 13-inch, with a 1.7GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory, & an Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB graphics card)
Thanks a ton for the info! Helps a ton with figuring the issue out. I’m going to delist the Mac version for now to avoid giving people false hope. I’ll post a dev log when the Mac version is back up.
Would definitely like to apologize to the Mac users out there interested in the game. Please hold out a bit longer while I try to figure out a way to get you all working build.
In the map, there are times when Elra's walk animation is frozen, I do not know if this was already addressed. And on another note, is Elra's pregnancy size going to be shown on the map with her mini character?
I have to say that this is definitely my favourite game from the Jam! I can't count how many times I played through just to see how big I could get her. :3
Any idea when the next anticipated update will be? And will she get bigger? Asking for a friend~
Super happy to hear how much you enjoyed the game. We’re aiming for end of June. But we don’t plan on submitting unfinished features like we had to for the jam. It will be posted when it’s done. There will definitely be quite a bit more content added to the first act in the update. No plans for a size increase this update, but perhaps other characters will be larger. ;)
Dang! I—I mean, my friend—was hoping to see the lovely cat girl expand her horizons. :3
I'm definitely looking forward to the next update when it happens, though! Keep up all of the amazing work, and I'll definitely be sending you both a tip now and again in the future! Thank you so again so much for this lovely little game.
Thank you so much for your generosity. Your support means a ton. We’ve got big things planned for this game so we hope to see you follow us on the journey. Again thank you so much for your appreciation of the game!
The usage of pregnancy is interesting (cards that scale with preg meter, events effected by how pregnant you are, and contraction that damage you overtime once the preg meter is full). The cards are diverse enough to provide some replay value (neutral, fire, water, thunder, and pregnant). Elra is pretty cute, like to see more of her. I wonder what’s her personality is.
Will there be clothes that can used to customized Elra’s appearance? (I.e., sports bra and shorts, swimsuit)
Will there be different type of babies to choose to bear from the start? If so, will it change the gameplay? (I.e., slime increase chance of getting water cards, dragon start with more fire cards)
Will there be different type of modes/challenges? (I.e., pregless challenge, overdue challenge, food baby challenge)
Is there any plans to add more elements? (I.e., nature)
Thank you so much for enjoying the game! Next update will definitely add tons more personality to Elra and a bit to the Host as well. I’m sure you’ll love her interactions.
Will there be clothes that can used to customized Elra’s appearance?
Customizing Elra’s outfit is an interesting idea we hadn’t considered. I’ll bring it up with NyPod. Don’t expect it in the near future but maybe someday after we finish the core game.
Will there be different type of babies to choose to bear from the start? If so, will it change the gameplay?
Different baby types with gameplay difference are also planned to be added soon. You’ll definitely see the changes you theorized and more.
Will there be different type of modes/challenges?
Challenge modes and what not are an interesting idea but would be a long way out.
Is there any plans to add more elements?
As for other elements, we meant to include both a wind class and nature class for this update but we ran out of time. You’ll see their mechanics next update as well as many more cards to expand existing mechanics. You can spoil some of the early concept art of the species which represent these elements on NyPod’s subscriber only sketchbook on DeviantArt.
How many Acts will there be?
We currently plan on 3 acts for the core gameplay loop.
Wonderful! Looking forward to the next update, especially Elra! Although my curiosity is still burning, I wouldn't want to overwhelm you with questions. Remember to take a break whether needed and don't overwork yourself!
Card upgrades will begin showing up in the next update. Expect more forms of character power progression as the game expands beyond the first Act as well!
Sorry, I am unsure. I do not have a Mac to test with and trusted Unity to build it correctly. Do you know which CPU Chip you have? This version should be built to support any thing but it’d be good to collect info to see how it affects users so I can look into getting that fixed up.
Heya! I don't know if it'll work on yours, but WINE might allow you to run the Windows version of the game, and The Unarchiver allowed me to unpack the .app.zip file, albeit I couldn't run it, due to it being "damaged or incomplete"
Development pace will slow down a bit but we’re still working! The pace we worked at during the jam is unsustainable long term and we want to make sure we can build this game up to meet our long term vision. Stay tuned for more. Next update will hopefully be out around the end of June to clean up what we had planned for the Jam. That deadline is not set in stone though. We will only release updates that meet our high standards in the future.
Finished the game. Well, you read my message. My suggestion would be this, have the art that went into this available! I already gave you the rest of my suggestion on Discord
Be sure to follow TheNyPod4 on DeviantArt. I don’t know if they’ll post all the art, but there’s definitely going to be some bonus promotional art of the characters coming in June. And if you’re really interested, there’s a few concept arts of existing and upcoming characters on their $2 subscribers sketchbook.
This game is marvelous. I enjoyed it enough that I subsequently "purchased" it for $10. Hope that small amount helps inspire future content! If you start a patreon / subscribestar for this, I'm all in :)
I do have some feedback/suggestions, but I want to stress that this is a fantastic effort for a 3 week game jam, so these are more thoughts for possible future content.
Pregnancy integration - right now pregnancy is very nicely integrated with player side mechanics (cards and damage at full bell size), but I would love integration in other ways. Examples could include:
Dialogue that pops up during the fight whenever her belly gets bigger (could also pop up after the fight if that makes things easier on the coding side).
Alternatively, a random piece of dialogue could show up after each encounter based on her current belly size.
I guess I just want to know what she thinks about her belly and hear her reaction to what is happening.
Enemies interacting with the pregnancy through ways other than doing damage (shrinking? growing? appreciating? commenting?)
If you are looking for help with writing (everybody has their strengths), I could put something together for you. No pressure, just an offer of help. Thanks again for the awesome game!
Thank you so much for your support! It means a lot to us. We definitely have tons of plans for this game. We’ve talked about a Patreon and, if we set one up, it’ll likely be after the next free update. Stay tuned!
We definitely have tons of plans for more cards that interact with be pregnancy already designed and are constantly exploring ways to tie the two together. We like having a mix of cards with interesting designs mechanically and interesting designs maternally. But we also have some ideas in the works that could bring them together. As well as other means for the player to interact with it beyond cards.
As for dialogue, we actually planned to have Elra comment on her growing size. We have several lines written for various stages already including some snide comments from the host. We sadly couldn’t fit it into the jam but we are one step ahead of you. There’s also plans for more dialogue in other places as well.
As for the enemies, we have plenty of ideas and plans for the enemies to interact more with your pregnancy. Several of the existing enemies’ behaviors are placeholders right. Expect to see more interactions between the enemies and your belly. And between the enemies and their own in some cases ;)
Once again, thanks for your support. We’re super glad you’re interested in the project. If you’d like to reach out more, feel free to connect on Discord (N-Saint#6484) or Twitter DMs.
I hope to see more of this game in the future honestly cause I been waiting to play a good card game like this from this site. I already have games similar to this on steam. Either way keep up the good work I can't wait to see more from this game honestly
In the current version, the only way to increase your number of babies is through the (?) events. Future updates will provide more ways of increasing your baby count as well.

any further updates for this? I hope to see what else you might have in store
Nothing to share at the moment. Plan is to focus on this year’s jam then get back to working on this
Love the game, really looking forward to the full release because it will be super good. The game as it stands is quite good, with solid gameplay and very nice artwork
Love the game. Any estimate time of next update?

they're in the process of changing the game engine

I hope you and NyPod have a great year in the following 2024 and I wish you luck. :)
Is the game being redone on a new engine?
Yes. We’re moving off of Unity to Godot.
that sounds......rough
good luck
Moving from one engine to another is super tough, bit in the long run, godot will be much better for the future of the game.
progress update?
In progress of porting the game to Godot. Official progress updates will be posted as possible. Intentionally pacing development so I don’t burn out entirely (again).
a very nice game. I hope to see an update at some point
Any plans for Android compatibility?
Not immediately. In the future I’d like to but many other things have higher priority.
Still a great one after months of reflection; happy to wait for an update! I hope the author is well and that this game is a source of pride for them.
Is it still long until the next update?
It’s still going to be a bit. Combination of burnout and other personal things have delayed progress recently but we’re ramping back up and hope to start providing more soon. Please be patient while we continue to work on the game. The next update will add a ton but still requires a lot of time.
You got this, stay strong and have fun doing this. Rest when needed! We will wait!
What is the current max size ?
10. You won't necessarily hit that mark on any given play through as hitting the Long Pink Shower, Eating at the BBQ, Stealing the Idol, and Getting back your money from the Pond aren't guaranteed to be on any one play through.
Is there any way to regain stamina once it's lost
Hey there, Spectra!
There are several ways to restore lost Stamina.
I hope this answer is helpful to you. :)
Any news on the updates progress? Also probably been through this before but I will ask anyway, what is going to be added in the new version?
A very fun game! Even the theming of the game aside, I liked the actual card battle mechanics. Is there are any planned increases to size limits though?
The current max size for Elra is currently planned to be either her max size or close to it. Hyper isn’t going to be a primary focus for Elra and max size for her is already quite large.

No problem, just glad you're going to keep trying to make a mac compatible version instead of "Welp, windows only then."
Let me know if there’s any issues with the Mac build I just posted. It should work this time.
maybe a quick patch to add skip cutscenes?
;)
In the map, there are times when Elra's walk animation is frozen, I do not know if this was already addressed. And on another note, is Elra's pregnancy size going to be shown on the map with her mini character?
Yes that is a bug with her overworld sprite, will of course be fixed in the future.
Also yes to your other note!

Card upgrades will begin showing up in the next update. Expect more forms of character power progression as the game expands beyond the first Act as well!
Nice.
will this get "save/load" functions soon?
Someday but not for a while
What are the requirements run/play this game on Mac? Anytime I try and open it, it says it doesn't have the application to run it. Thanks in advance.
Sorry, I am unsure. I do not have a Mac to test with and trusted Unity to build it correctly. Do you know which CPU Chip you have? This version should be built to support any thing but it’d be good to collect info to see how it affects users so I can look into getting that fixed up.
All I can say that it is an unmodified MacBook air from 2015, Does Not have unity installed if this helps.
Thanks for the info. I’ll try to get a build up tomorrow and see if that helps. Thanks for showing interest in the game.
Heya! I don't know if it'll work on yours, but WINE might allow you to run the Windows version of the game, and The Unarchiver allowed me to unpack the .app.zip file, albeit I couldn't run it, due to it being "damaged or incomplete"
New Mac build is out
You did one damn good job, I'm dying for more already!
Development pace will slow down a bit but we’re still working! The pace we worked at during the jam is unsustainable long term and we want to make sure we can build this game up to meet our long term vision. Stay tuned for more.

We definitely have tons of plans for more cards that interact with be pregnancy already designed and are constantly exploring ways to tie the two together. We like having a mix of cards with interesting designs mechanically and interesting designs maternally. But we also have some ideas in the works that could bring them together. As well as other means for the player to interact with it beyond cards.
As for dialogue, we actually planned to have Elra comment on her growing size. We have several lines written for various stages already including some snide comments from the host. We sadly couldn’t fit it into the jam but we are one step ahead of you. There’s also plans for more dialogue in other places as well.
As for the enemies, we have plenty of ideas and plans for the enemies to interact more with your pregnancy. Several of the existing enemies’ behaviors are placeholders right. Expect to see more interactions between the enemies and your belly. And between the enemies and their own in some cases ;)
Once again, thanks for your support. We’re super glad you’re interested in the project. If you’d like to reach out more, feel free to connect on Discord (N-Saint#6484) or Twitter DMs.
Game is fire, very quality art and gameplay. I would pay good money for a fully fleshed out version of this.
We definitely plan on fleshing this out into a full game with loads more content. We’re glad you enjoyed the game.
I hope to see more of this game in the future honestly cause I been waiting to play a good card game like this from this site. I already have games similar to this on steam. Either way keep up the good work I can't wait to see more from this game honestly
We definitely have plans to continue work on this game. Stay tuned.
is there going to be a larger belly size in the future build ?
maybe a tad bigger, but her max size rn is actually quite absurd IMO.
What determines the number of babies you're carrying?
In the current version, the only way to increase your number of babies is through the (?) events. Future updates will provide more ways of increasing your baby count as well.
Thanks! And I'm happy to hear this will be getting further development! The gameplay and preggo stuff are both quite compelling!
Is/can there be any futa?
Futa will not be added
